…The story about the woman who recovered from a stro and had FAS afterwards is my my opinion, relevant, because it was soon after that incident we heard of this story…very odd don’t you think especially given the rarity of such events.Vis the mother thing I still think that is relevent as she was probably unwilling or unable to go along convincingly with the charade. It was also convenient that the credits were able to say there was now contact. Nah, again I am convinced of a charade. BTW, what was with thr testing setup which was carried out on a stairway landing in full view of the outside world.The dude could see the b/f and the b/f could see him. The whole thing was a hoax and the truth will out eventually……

If he was unhappy about “waking up” gay then there might be some reason to why he would make a big deal of it, there are gay people in the world who would prefer not to be.. But he was happy about it and in love with another guy, so what was all the fuss about? Marketing his salon perhaps? I don’t get it.

I rest my case! ;-D

Thu, 19 Apr 2012 16:14:25 +0000http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=28194#comment-303726At the end of the day here is a guy who is now living a happy life. Okay so he’s making some money out of a documentary… wouldn’t we all do that? Just chill out a little. As far as the anti-gay lobby goes, their arguments would be just as invalid as before if they somehow tried to use this to their advantage. Put simply, his brain was one way before, and now it is another way. Therefore, there is a biological reason for sexuality. Simple really. I also think the people who are on here saying ‘sexuality is because of your genetics get it right’ and things like that are as closed minded as the religious. We do not understand the intricacies of sexuality, we do not understand exactly why. Yes there have been trends found in genetics, but also in psychology and neuroscience and none of them has yet given us the whole story.

For what it is worth, scientists have no agenda here- no anti-gay or pro-gay bias.
Perhaps sexuality is just a matter of brain wiring after all. And there is nothing especially ‘special’ or ‘spiritual’ about being gay (or not) after all.
By the way, rugby players come in all shapes and sizes (snert) and are not all built like the proverbial.

Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:24:15 +0000http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=28194#comment-303413Overnight? did he recover up overnight? I have not covered strokes in a great deal in my studies but I’m pretty sure they don’t just recover “overnight”. It may have taken him weeks after his release fro hospital not mention his time in there.

Seriously? This is the story you have a problem with? As I said in another post, there are a tonne load of strange cases out there. Strokes are known to cause dramatic personality changes and to be fair thats what this seems like, just a personality change.

Thu, 19 Apr 2012 00:02:40 +0000http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=28194#comment-303323My last comment in this tread: Sorry! It might be an totally acted show! But all those comments like “you CANNOT.. overnight!” etc. Do we have a Neuroligists forum here? Who are those people (anonymously/funny name) who KNOW it isn’t possible to wake up gay…? Who the f##k are you? What’s you medical doctors degree? None! Niente! Nada! Like I said in my first MSG here: prejudice isn’t just a straight people’s habit! Square or totally queer, prejudice is ruling all forums and comments! :(

Wed, 18 Apr 2012 23:48:08 +0000http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=28194#comment-303313Again, how dare you say: >>you can’t…<< ? What kind of Dr. Are you??? I can testify, and my man too, that I have changed "overnight" after a T.I.A. and again after my second. Sure, I was gay, still gay! (well, 80% or so) But my preference DID totally change "overnight" 4 years ago!!! looking up for very tall blond, blue or grey eyed guy – from my age+ only – before, now I'm only charmed with Romani, 1,50 m black eyed 30 y.o. guys or African boys! All those tall blond… men are "No way!!!" now. I.O.W: My preference did change over night.

Wed, 18 Apr 2012 23:09:10 +0000http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=28194#comment-303290Perhaps even totally fake, an actor. So…. Even if so, does it make “the question” less interesting? And anyhow, isn’t it good to have an (even faked) example that so called 100% butch straight men can actually be (or become) queenly gay?
